How guests and AI assistants find Spring House Hotel

Prepared by Ethan Hawkes · checked 30 October 2026 (6:11 pm ET) · PDF copy

The short version. Your home page tells guests to call 401-466-5844, but the hotel facts block that search engines and AI assistants read lists 401-213-1643. Your robots.txt also blocks several AI crawlers by a Cloudflare default, worth confirming is deliberate.

What we checked

What we found on your site

Two different phone numbers

“"telephone":"401-213-1643"”

The visible page links 401-466-5844 (4 times). Machines read the structured-data number, so an assistant may give guests the other one.

AI crawlers are blocked by a Cloudflare default

The file is marked "BEGIN Cloudflare Managed content" and also blocks ClaudeBot and Google-Extended. That can be the right call; it is worth making on purpose, since it shapes what AI tools can learn about you.

Your hotel facts block takes its image from a different domain

The image URL is on springhousehotel.com and loads only through a redirect to springhouseblockisland.com. Pointing it straight at this site removes one more thing that can break.

Why it matters

Search engines and AI trip planners read the structured data block and the files at the root of your site to learn your basic facts. When those disagree with what a guest sees, machines either skip them or repeat the wrong version, and fill the gaps from booking sites instead of from you.
